Wow! Thank you, folks! Thank you. Thank you!
Oh…! We love Albany! We love Albany! Right? We love New York! We love our country! We really love our country!
So, I just wanna thank everybody. You know, I know some of you have been out here for nine hours, ten hours. And…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…there are thousands of people outside trying to get in. They’re coming in, they're coming through our little machines. Unfortunately, uh…I think it's time for us to start, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, they'll be filling in. They should have gotten here six hours ago like you, folks. Right? Right?
So, we have a…uh…an incredible thing going. We're doing amazingly well. New York is very important. [Do you] Remember ‘New York values’? When…this character…said, with disdain and, actually, with hatred…and have you watched the way he said it? During the debate, he knocked…pretty viciously New York values. We have the greatest values. Nobody has values like us…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And the country loves New York!
And when we took the worst attack in the history of our nation, and we took that attack, and we were strong, and we were sharp, and we were loving, and we had heart. And we rebuild downtown Manhattan! Thousands and thousands of people were killed, and the police departments and the fire departments, and everybody…were so amazing! That's what New York values really is, and really…represents…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We all know that.
…–THE CROWD chants ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY. Great…–MR. TRUMP CHANTS ALONG. Really good. Really good.
So, our country, as you know, doesn't win anymore. Where have we won? We lose on trade. We lose with our military, we can't beat ISIS. We lose with our vets, we don't take care of them. We lose on education, we're like at the bottom of the list! We lose in every…conceivable…way! Our healthcare is no good, Obamacare is a disaster. We're gonna repeal it and replace it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
And everywhere I go, this happens! I mean, we have a 20,000…people, more than 20,000 people here tonight. Everywhere we go! Look at this, this is a major arena! This is a beautiful arena! I have to tell you! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. This is a beautiful arena!
I've been to Albany so many times in my life! Oh, I don't wanna talk about it! And by the way, we have a lot of our state senators here tonight. Raise your hands! We have so many of them! And these are great people. They've done a great job. I come up…you know, in the old days, I used to come up and say, “I need this approval! I need that approval! I need this one!”. Now I'm on their side. They can't believe it I'm a politician! I can't believe it! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They're great people. These are great people.
So…and I wanna thank of all for being here. We have a lot of political people. A lot of…our great representatives, who do love New York, and who do love our country…a lot! So, I just wanna thank them all for being here. Thank you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY.
So, here's the problem! Let me tell you what the problem is: we're millions of votes ahead…of Cruz. Millions. Millions. You don't hear that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. These dishonest people up here don't tell you…­­–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS. I mean, I just watched…; no, these are the most dishonest people! …–THE CROWD BOOS. They're terrible! I mean, I just watched the report from CNN! It was so dishonest. It was so one sided, [it was] so disgusting! And you know what? That's the way it goes. You almost say, “how can I be in first place by a lot?”. They give us the most dishonest reporting. And, that's the way it is, folks. That's the way it is. And we just get used to it. But I'm telling you, the media itself…is so dishonest.
And…and you know, honestly, and I do wonder. A millions of votes ahead…which they don't even talk about! They never even mentioned it! They talk about delegates. And I'm hundreds of delegates ahead. But the system folks is rigged. It's a rigged, disgusting, dirty system! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. It's a dirty system!
And only a non-politician would say it cuz I don't care! Look, if it doesn't happen…I'm here for one reason: make…America…great…again. That's the only reason…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. That's the only reason.
And…[for] some reason, [if] the…genius of the voter says, “you know what? We'll pick somebody else. We’ll pick one of these politicians that's totally…bought and sold by their special interest and their lobbyists…–THE CROWD BOOS; a guy like Cruz is an example. He didn't put on his personal…financial…disclosure form that he borrowed a million dollars from Goldman Sachs and Citibank! He doesn't put it! He doesn't talk about it! …–THE CROWD BOOS. So, it's down on his personal…; and he doesn't do it! And then he'll go out and say, “I will stop the banks! I will…”; you know, like he's Robin Hood. This is not Robin Hood. This is a bad guy. This is not Robin Hood. Lyin Ted Cruz! We call him lyin…Ted Cruz…for a reason! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
He's a liar…and he misrepresents everything, including Ben Carson, who's a great guy…; [do you] remember in Iowa!? Where Ted Cruz said, “Ben Carson has left the race!”…during…during the election! And people said, “oh, he left the race! Oh, okay. I'll vote for you. I like Ben Carson”.
Ben Carson's a great guy, who's never forgotten what happened to him by Ted Cruz. And, Ben Carson endorsed me, recently. And we loved having that endorsement! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. But Ben has never forgotten what took place. He was totally in the race. He was doing great, and Ted Cruz and his people…; and Cruz knew all about it!
And you know what he does? Right after the race, right after the election take place…this is election day! Right after the election kicks…takes place he calls up and he said, “oh, I'd like to apologize. I didn't know anything about it”. He knew everything about it. He's lyin Ted Cruz, folks. Remember that! And he does not like New York! And he does not like…and he does not like the people of New York, and that came out loud and clear! All you gotta do is…forget about his words! His words were ‘New York values’! Take a look at the scorn on his face, when he said it. Am I right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
So, we have a rigged system. So in Colorado, they were going to vote! And you saw what's happened in Colorado. It's one of the big things. It's a fix! Because…we thought we were having an election! And a number of months ago, they decided to do it by…you know what, right? Right? They saw…they said we'll do it by delegate. They said they're gonna do it by delegate. Oh, is that nice!? And the delegates…were all they're, all waiting! And the head guy, in fact, one of them…tweeted out today, or said today by mistaken, then they withdrew it; something to the effect…[do you] see!? ‘Never Trump!’. Look what we did! ‘Never Trump!’. Because…if I go to the voters of Colorado, we win Colorado! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, it's a crooked, crooked system!
You know, we think about democracy. And we think about our country! Let me tell you a little secret as far as our country is concerned: we have a democracy, but we've gotta keep our democracy! And we're gonna do that! And it's very interesting: take a look at Bernie Sanders, okay? You can have him, I don't want him! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. I don't want him!
But take a look at Bernie Sanders. Running a…against…you talk about liars! I think Hillary might be worse than Ted! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. So, I'm no fan…I am no fan of Bernie Sanders, that I can tell you, all right? We’d…although we agree on one thing! Trade! We're getting ripped off on trade by everybody. The difference is, I can do something about it! He doesn't know where to begin! But he is right! We're getting ripped off! And your jobs are going down the drain, folks! This country is being ripped so badly…by every…nation…in the world! Any country we do business with…you name it, we come out on the bottom end, or the short end. But Bernie Sanders…![MGF1] 
So, here’s the story. Here's the story: every day, and every week I see…it's like me! Every…single…week…–THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE IN THE ROOM. THE CROWD BOOS. IT’S A PROTESTER­–…thank you! Thank you! Is there anything more fun than a Trump rally!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And…and who else…!? This was said to me by one of the great musical geniuses. I won't tell you his name. I don't wanna get in trouble. But he said, “Donald, you the greatest in the world. You're the only one that can fill an arena without a guitar!”, meaning without music! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And look at this place! And I guess there's a little truth.
So, every weekend I see the results come in: Bernie Sanders wins, And he wins, and he wins…and then these people…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…are saying [that] he can't win! Because the system is rigged![MGF2]  …–THE NOISE IN THE CROWD CONTINUES. All right, get him out of here! Get him out! Get him out! Get him out! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUD. Get him out! Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him. Don't hurt that person. Yeah, you can get him out. Don't hurt him. Isn’t that a shame!? But it does make it exciting, right? Right!? All right, get them out!
I call them disruptors. You know, they're sent in here. They have professionally printed signs, made by a printing press. And…those are the people we don't worry about, because they don't have it in their heart. I even wonder…are they paid? Are they paid? And I think probably they are. All right. Go ahead, get him out!
So folks, here's the story. And you gotta see it. And I love this state. And I love Albany. And I know Albany so well. But here's a couple of stats that I got, which are quite depressing, to put it mildly. And we're gonna turn it around, and we're gonna turn it around fast. Because we are being decimated on every…deal…we make. Whether it's protecting other nations with our military, which is never said correctly by the press.
They say [that] I don't wanna protect other nations. I do! It's just fine! But they've gotta pay us! We're not gonna do it for peanuts anymore! They've gotta pay us! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
The median household income in New York State today is 3,700 dollars. Less per year! Think of this: inflation adjusted. Then, in 1989…and we think it's probably 1980. So, you're talking about many, many years ago! And your numbers are lower! And then they wonder how come I can get 20,000 people to a rally in Albany!?
Last night I was in Rochester. We had 16 or 17,000 people. We had to send away 5,000 people. Tonight we have to send away 5,000 people! And…let me tell you, when you hear these kind of statistics, the labor force participation rate…in New York is only around 60 percent. The lowest level in many many, years!
Listen to this: these are just stats, right out of the book, fellas. New York State has lost three out of every four manufacturing jobs that existed in 1960. Three out of four! …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. And then they say, “are you angry!?”. And we're not angry people. We’re not angry! …–THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE IN THE ROOM, APPARENTLY A PROTESTER.
It's the same guy or whatever. It's the same guy. [Do you] See? We wanted to be nice to him. This is what happens! …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. [It’s] Such a shame!
You know, this is our arena for the next hour. It's a disgrace that somebody can behave like that. This is our arena! And, you know, he comes in…and then we say, “okay, let him go. Let him go. Let's be nice. Let him listen”. And then he starts up again.
And a lot of times folks, I have to tell you. This is what's happening on the border. This is what's happening with ISIS. This is what's happening to our country! And we can't let it happen! We've gotta take our country back, folks! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We've gotta take it back. It's so sad! And then you have that guy walking out with his arms held high like he's a big shot. Only because ten years ago he couldn't have gotten away with that stuff, believe me. Believe me.
New York State has lost 350,000 manufacturing jobs since 1997. Think of it! 350,000 jobs! And you know where they go? They go to Mexico…! They're going to China…! They're going to Japan…! They're going everywhere except here. And we're not gonna put up with it anymore, folks. We're gonna straighten it out once and for all…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
Albany…which we love, Albany. We all love Albany, right? We wanna see it do well…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Albany lost another 1,500 parts…uh…think of that! 1,500 private-sector jobs just last year. That's a lot! 1,500 jobs last year-.
Now, Cruz and Kasich, they support TPP. TPP, by the way, is a disaster…–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY. TPP is a disaster! A disaster for New York…and it shouldn't be approved! My two opponents totally supported, 100 percent! I totally am against it, along with another group of smart people. We've had enough problems with NAFTA! It's cleaned out your state. It's cleaned out the country. And TPP is going to be worse! It's enough with these horrible trade deals.
They're done by people…that are getting taken care of. They're done by special interests. They're done by lobbyists, that have totally control…they’re totally controlled! Cruz…and everybody else in the Senate, practically! All right? Practically!
And I wanna tell you, folks: we're not going to put up with it, because we're not gonna have a country left. We're not gonna have our jobs left. We're gonna be taking jobs…; we…what we've done in Mexico…if you look at what's going on, in Mexico…; day after day, you read about another company…another…is that right? Another company going to Mexico! Well, let me tell you something. The politicians are sitting in Washington now for years, trying to figure out, “what can we do?”. And I'm a free trader! But you can only free trade if you have really smart people on your side! And we don't!
We have a group of losing people like I've never seen in my life before, and we're gonna change it around! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We're gonna have the finest people, the smartest people in our country! And I know who they are! And we're gonna make great, great trade deals! And by the way, and the jobs are gonna be coming back here! They're not going anywhere else.
And here's what happens: when they announced they're going to Mexico, we're gonna congratulate the people and their wonderful deal, and then we're gonna say, “but when you send your product into the United States, you're gonna have a 35 percent tax!”. And you know what's gonna happen!? They…won't…leave! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. They will…not…leave! …–THERE IS, AGAIN, ANOTHER SUDDEN NOISE FROM THE CROWD. Yeah, all right, get them out. Get them out.
So, we're gonna set up the smartest…tariff…we are going to be so good! We're gonna be all over the world. They're gonna be talking about the miracle of the United States! Because we're going down now, folks! We're going in the wrong direction. We're sitting on a massive bubble! And when it pops, it's gonna be horrible and it's gonna be ugly.
China…! China…! We have a trade deficit with China of over…500…billion…dollars…a year! We have…re…built…China!
We have a trade deficit with Mexico, of 58…billion…dollars…a year! And then these politicians that don't know what they're doing…they have no clue! They said to me at one of the debates, one of them…I won't even embarrass him. He came up, “you can't get Mexico to pay for the wall! How do you do that?”.
I said, “[do] you know [that] we have a trade deficit of 58 billion dollars?”. The wall is gonna cost 10 billion dollars! 58 billion is every…single…year! And that doesn't include the drugs that are pouring into our country, poisoning our youth! They're poisoned with his crap! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
15,000 Border Patrol people last week just endorsed me, because they said Trump is the best on the border they've ever seen! 15,000…incredible Border Patrol! Who can do their job, but they're told to stand back! “Let people pour into our country!”.
We are gonna stop that so fast…! Even before we start the wall it's gonna stop. Believe me, Sheriff Joe Arpaio…you know Joe! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We love Joe! From Arizona! He endorsed Donald Trump! There's nobody better, or tougher, or smarter on the border. And he endorsed Trump.[MGF3] 
So, look. We're gonna have strong borders. We're gonna bring our country back. You can't have a country unless you have borders. And we don't have borders! So, let me just tell you something. We're gonna build a wall…the likes of which you've never seen before! And people…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY–…and people won't be driving their pickup trucks through the wall, or over the wall. Did you ever see that!? The trucks go over, they unload the drugs, and then they go back! So, we get the drugs and they get the money. Not...very…good, folks! That's gonna all change! And it's gonna change so fast!
Did you see the Mexican president, the former Mexican President? …–THE CROWD BOOS. Did you see that!? Vincente! Vincente! So, he said , “there is no way that we're gonna pay for the…!”…then he used the F-bomb, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Can you imagine if I used the f-bomb what would have happened? Nobody even talked about…;
But we've made progress, because two years ago, he used to say, “there's no way we're gonna build a wall!”. Now he just says, “there's no way we're gonna pay for the wall”. Trust me! They're gonna pay for the wall, folks. They're gonna pay for the wall…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Believe me![MGF4] 
And you know what? I have great relationships with Mexico, with Hispanics…thousands and thousands of Hispanics work for me. They're great, great people! They're gonna vote for me! When I won the state of Nevada…and I won it big; …they took a poll of the Hispanics. And who won the poll? Donald Trump. Because they're smart! And they know I’m gonna bring jobs back to our country! And I’m gonna bring him back fast, okay? Fast.
So, when this all began, on June 16th, I was talking about borders…; I was talking about the wall…; I was talking about a lot of things and boy, was I receiving heat! Now everybody's saying, “you know, the wall’s a good idea”, my opponents. The other day Cruz said, “we have to build a wall!”. Can you believe this guy?
First of all, he's never gonna build it. [He’s] Never gonna build it…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. He’s never gonna build it.[He’s] never…; it's all words. Because one of the special interest groups is gonna say, “you can't do that! We gave you millions of dollars! There's no way you can force a wall down everybody's throat!”. We need it!
When I want the state of New Hampshire…the people in New Hampshire are incredible. They came to me and they said. “we have a tremendous drug problem…coming across the southern border”.
I said, “let me tell you something: if I become president, we're gonna stop…that…problem! We're gonna stop it!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. THERE IS A SUDDEN NOISE FROM THE CROWD, APPARENTLY A PROTESTER. [They have a] very weak voice.
Isn't it incredible? But don't we love it? Don't we love it? I love it.
You know, the only way the cameras show how many people are in a place like this is protesters. So, we love our protesters, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Otherwise, those crooked cameras, those crooked people…they're almost as bad as a lot of the people we have to deal with in politics. Otherwise, these crooked people…–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT THE CAMERAS–…they never show how many people are in the arena. They don't show it. All right, get him out. Get him out. Oh, these people!
You know, I really believe…if I sat down with these people…assuming they're legit! But I happen to believe they were sent here. Because…you know, when I look at Bernie…and…and…I'm just gonna say it again! So, every time…I turn on the television it says, “Bernie wins; Bernie wins; Bernie wins this one; Bernie wins Wyoming; Bernie wins here; Bernie was there;”. But he can't win!
And I say, “oh, it's rigged!”. Just like ours, it's rigged. It's disgusting! And now he's saying bad things about Hillary! And he's really…correct. [MGF5] He says she doesn't have the judgment to be President. And you know what? She got us into Libya! You look at Benghazi! You look at her war, in Iraq, the ‘yes’ vote! “Let's go into Iraq”, she said! And she voted for Iraq. And lots of other things.
The one thing I agree with him on then, other than trade…but again, he can't do anything about it. The one thing I agree, he's absolutely right. Hillary Clinton does not have…the judgment to be President. She doesn't have the judgment! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Believe me!
You look at her decisions, they have been so bad! And they've been so wrong! I so…look…forward to running against…; getting rid of these guys, and running against Hillary, all right?
And you know what? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. In the meantime, there's being so much pressure, like in Colorado, which was a total fix! There's so much…; the people all wanted to vote! They took away their votes! It's the biggest political story out there. I don't know if you're reading the papers, or seeing…; it's one of the great political stories! They took…away…their…vote! And they gave it to these delegates. And I wanna tell you, folks: what they did is really…; turned out. I think it's gonna come back to haunt them. Because people are not gonna take it anymore! We're not gonna take it anymore! It's a corrupt system! It's a totally…corrupt…rigged system!
You know, I give the example…in Louisiana, which I was not supposed to win; in Louisiana, I went there, I campaigned for four or five days, we had rallies just like this. Thousands, and thousands of people. I end up winning Louisiana! And then, when everything is done, I find out I get less delegates than this guy that…got his ass kicked, okay!? Give me a break! …­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. [It’s] Really disgusting. So, it's a very sick system. And I'll tell you what: maybe in addition to winning, maybe we'll clean up the system. So that in future years, we can have an honors contest. We might be able to clean up this dirty, rotten, disgusting system…­–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, when I began this process on June 16th, I never did this before. It takes guts to run for president, believe me! But when I did…when I started, I was looking at borders; I was looking at trade deals. Those were my two primary things. And then you had a thing called ‘Paris’. And then you had other things happen, and tremendous crime…all over the…all over the world. And you had radical…Islamic…terrorism, which our president refuses to use the name. And you can't clean up a problem if you don't even wanna say what the problem is! You can't do it! You can't do it! So, we have a big problem, and it's gotta be cleaned up.
And, I didn't wanna go into Iraq. I said, “it's gonna destabilize the entire Middle East”, and that's right. But the way Obama got us out was a disgrace! He gave a date! “We will be out!”. The enemy went back. He gave a specific date. And then he took everybody, instead of leaving some behind. And what a mess we have! We just handed Iran…we gave it to them, on a silver platter. They've wanted it for decades and decades. We gave it to them on a silver platter. We handed them Iraq. That was even better than the deal they hoodwinked us, where we paid a 150 billion dollars. They kept the prisoners far too long! They should have let those prisoners go before we ever, ever started negotiating! The Iran deal is a disaster!
Now, on top of that…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…they get Iraq! And you know what's gonna happen, folks? They're gonna take over Yemen, and they want Yemen because of the long border with Saudi Arabia, and they want the oil in Saudi Arabia. And we're weak, and we're ineffective.
Now, here's what happens. Here's what happens. The…some of the newspapers, some were actually pretty honest about it. But they talked to me about military defense. [Do] You know that we defend Germany!? We defend Japan. We defend South Korea. We defend Saudi Arabia.
Now, Saudi Arabia's is a good one, cause Saudi Arabia…they all…these are money…machines. These are behemoths. Saudi Arabia…was making, when they always high, a billion…dollars…a day! They have more money than you could ever imagine! They have some of the largest funds in the world! We're defending them for practically nothing, folks! And you know what? If you had the right messenger, they wouldn't be there for two weeks, if it wasn't for us. They wouldn't be there for two weeks! If you had the right messenger, we’d be reimbursed the money that we should be reimbursed for saving a very wealthy nation! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We owe…19 trillion dollars. It's going up to 21 trillion, because of the horrible, horrible budget that three months ago the Republicans approved. That's going up to 21 trillion dollars, folks. Very quickly. We funded in that budget Obamacare…; we funded in that budget people coming in from Syria. We have no idea who they are, where they come from…; there's no documentation; there's no paperwork…! We funded in that budget all sorts of things! All sorts of things, including people coming into our country illegally!
Do you know…that we have, right now, we take care of illegal immigrants better than we take care of, in many cases, our veterans. We love our veterans. It's not gonna happen anymore! It's not gonna happen…anymore!
So, Paris happened. Then the tragedy in California happened, where you have…the young man, and the young woman; [they] became radicalized…; they killed their 14 co-workers, who gave them a party just before for their child that was born. And we said, “folks, there's something wrong”. And we're either gonna get smart, and we're gonna get vigilant, and we're gonna get tough, or we…are not…going to have…a country anymore. We're not gonna have a country. And as far as…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
As far as the people coming in, from Syria…do you remember when they said it was 3,000? Well, now it's time…[do] you remember I said a much, much greater number? Everyone's said, “oh, it's so ridiculous what he's saying!”. Guess what, folks! I happen to be right. We're taking them in by the thousands, and we have no…idea…where they're coming from and who they're representing!
Did you ever look at the great migration, that line? And it's a sad thing! And we should build a zone, some place, a safe zone in Syria, do something, and have the Gulf states funded. I don't wanna fund it! We're gonna have the Gulf states fund it! We’ll be responsible, but have somebody else put up the money. Cause we don't have the money, folks! We've dissipated our jobs. We've dissipated our money. So, we have the Gulf states do it.
But did you ever see? The migration, it comes in, and you see all of the cell phones! Where do they get cell phones!? And you see the symbols on the cell phones! You know what the symbols are, right? Many, many very terrible symbols. And the ISIS flag is a symbol on many. And we take these people! How stupid are we, folks? How stupid? How much…how long is it gonna take before we figure it out? We can't let it happen anymore!
Just like Albany…! Just like…this…state, that I love! Just like I look at what's going on! I see the jobs just fleeing! But they're fleeing the whole country! But actually, New York state is probably hit just about the worst in the whole…United…States.
Do you remember, when they wanted me to run for governor? And I said, “I'll run, but I'm gonna take care of New York State”. And I said, “but I don't wanna go through primaries, because if I go through a primary…”, oh, look at that. Oh, there we have one…–THERE IS A PROTESTER IN THE ROOM. Go ahead. Yeah, get him out of here, please. Get him out! See? He stands there smiling, because he knows nobody's gonna touch him. You know, he's protected, right? All right, don't hurt him but get him out! Get him out! Get him out…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. These guys are standing there taunting all of us, folks. They stand there and they taunt us all. What a shame!
And then the dishonest media will say, “oh, Trump was very, very tough! He was so tough. He raised his voice!”. He's allowed to scream! He's allowed to throw punches! But if we do anything, it's like the worst thing I've ever seen. The worst…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
[Do] You know the truth? Cause they like to make a big deal. Our rallies are among the most safe rallies you could ever attend, because we protect each other, and then the most…safe…rallies…you'll ever, ever see…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. All right, get him out! Get him out! …–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
So, I'll tell you. These are the safest places you'll ever be. These are the safest rallies you're ever going to see. And I really mean it. They try and build it up like, “oh, there were protests”. These are the safest rallies…–THERE IS ANOTHER SUDDEN NOISE COMING FROM THE CROWD, PROBABLY A PROTESTER. Yeah, leave him alone. Don’t worry about him. Send him back home to mom…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So, I have to tell you. This is such an amazing…these are my people! I love these people! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS  [I] Love them!
Not everybody loves us, but we love each other, right? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I'm proud of New York. And I'm proud of the people in New York. And you know what? The whole country and the whole world is proud of New York, I'm telling you that. I know it. I'm all over the world. And I will tell you, the whole country is proud of New York. Everything it represents, what they've done…we just love you, folks. We really love you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…so, it started with the trade. Then it started…as I said, then it started with…all sorts of…borders and protection, and walls…; then after Paris and after California, polls started coming out. And they said, “we love Trump on the military!”. And I'll do so great! ‘Women for Trump’. Hold that high! ‘Women for Trump!’ Oh…! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.­–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD. THE CROWD CHEERS AND APLAUDS.
Nobody…by the way, nobody respects women more than Donald Trump, that high I can tell you…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
You know, I…I wanted to grab the television the other night and hug it. There was a woman, from this area, and the press came up. And they said, “what does it take for you to say bad against Donald Trump, or to go against him?”. And she was standing there on one of the stations, with a lot of her friends behind her. She said, “stop, don't even talk. There is nothing…he can do…that would make…me…vote against him! We love Donald Trump! And he'll protect us! And you'll be great to women!” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And I wanted to go up and grab the television set and hug it! …–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
So, I think what's gonna happen, and you're starting to see it because polls are gonna be phenomenal when they start coming out. Once I get rid of the first two, and we can focus on…whoever the enemy is. Again, it's a rig deal, so it's probably going to be…Hillary. I don't think the emails…will take her down, because she's being protected by the Democrats. It would take anybody else down, but it's not gonna take her down because she's being protected by the Democrats, which is a disgrace! But she's gonna have to live with that when she runs, because everybody knows…that she is guilty as hell, okay!? Everybody! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
Her whole life has been a big, fat, beautiful lie! It's been a terrible, terrible lie…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Everything about her is a luie! So, let's see how she does. We don't wanna waste a lot of time. A lot of people say, “there's no way she could escape the email scandal”. Let's see what happens, folks. I say she escapes it because she's being protected.
And you know what? To General Petraeus, and to all of the people that have suffered so badly and so greatly…for doing far less than what she did, I only…feel…very…badly for them. It's…so…unfair! [It’s] So totally unfair. Remember that.
So…so, here's the story, folks. We are gonna start winning again, our country. We are going to make great trade deals. We're gonna have Apple building their product…in the United States, not in China, and Vietnam, and all over…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're not going to let them get away with the devaluations that are absolutely…not…allowed…under any, any form of agreement! Especially an honorable agreement! We're not gonna let them! They are killing us with their currency, so many countries; in particular Japan, and in particular China, they are killing us! [They’re] Absolutely destroying us with currency devaluation, because they are great chess players, and we don't have people that even know how to play checkers, folks. We don't have a clue what they're doing to us! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. We don't have a clue!
I'm gonna get that taken care of so fast…! And you know the amazing thing? Here it is, we've rebuilt China. They've made fortunes and fortunes. It's the single greatest robbery, what China has done to the United States at any time…in the history…of the world! We have rebuilt…China! You go to China and the countries, [and] you'll see trains that go 300 miles an hour. You'll see bridges that make our bridges like obsolete. And many of our bridges are in danger of coming down! Look at the reports! They need work!
We don't have money to take care of our infrastructure! We've spent trillions and trillions of dollars in the Middle East, and if our politicians went on vacation…if they went to the beach for the last 10, 12, 15 years…we'd be much stronger in the Middle East that we are right now! Right now it's a mess! A total mess! Done by incompetent people! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And totally incompetent leadership!
So, here's what we're gonna do, folks: we're gonna start winning again, and I mean winning big league…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIMIDLY. We're gonna win with our military. We're gonna build it bigger, and better, and stronger…than ever before! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS VIVIDLY. And we're gonna knock the hell out of ISIS and be done with it!
And when we take care of our military, we're gonna take care of our great veterans, who have been so badly mistreated…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…but our military is going to, again, be so proud…that nobody's gonna mess with us again, folks! It's over! They toy with us. They toy with us…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. These other countries are toying with us. And they don't give you the really right word on what's happening and what should be happening!
One little example. I said, “Japan”. No! I love Japan. [I’ve] Many friends in Japan! I'm all for Japan! I don't mind protecting Japan! But they have to pay up! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
The next day, in the New York Times and the papers, the Washington post, they have something… “Donald Trump…wants to let Japan go nuclear!”.
I said, “what does that have to do!?”. These are lying, lying people! …–THE CROWD BOOS TIMIDLY.
Yesterday they did a story in The Times…and they didn't talk about the economics! We have a thing called NATO. They asked me recently on television about NATO. I said, “it's obsolete and we pay too much”. And to be honest with you, folks, I know so much about government, and our government, that without knowing as much about NATO as some of the experts, I knew I was right! And now the experts are saying…many of them, “you know, Trump was right. It is obsolete” …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS TIOMIDLY.
You know, that was done for the Soviet Union, and other reasons! And now, I was right because we have 28 countries, in NATO, and many of them aren't paying! They're not paying their share! So, we're protecting them, and they're laughing at the stupidity of our country and our leaders, and they're getting away with murder!
And people, some of the expert says…you know; you know, sometimes…did you ever do this? That you're so close to something you don't even see what's going on, right? It happens. So I said, “we pay too much. People are not…!”. And by the way, I want reimbursement! I’m gonna say very nicely…I promise, I’ll be very nice. Very nice. But I’m gonna say to these countries, “folks, we've been carrying you for many years. You have not been paying what you're supposed to pay”. And I won't say, “do you think we're stupid?”. Because I know the answer is “yes, we think you have been stupid. But now, Mr…president, we think you're brilliant. I can't believe…nobody's asked us”. But I want the money! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
But I want the money that's delinquent! I want the money that's in arrears, okay’ And we're gonna get the money! And we gonna get it nicely. And you know what, folks? You always have to be prepared to walk, and if they don't pay the money, we want them out. Okay? Because we can't afford to do what we did 40 years ago. We can't afford to do what we did 30, and 20, and 25 years ago! If they don't wanna pay we say, “lots of luck. Enjoy your lives”.
And let me tell you what's gonna happen. They're gonna wait about a day or two, and then we're gonna get the biggest, fattest, most beautiful checks you've ever seen…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. And we're gonna start paying off our debt. And we're gonna start balancing our budgets. And we're gonna run this country! You are gonna be so proud of our country!
So, here's the story. You're gonna be proud of our military, we're gonna win! You're gonna be proud of how we take care of our vets and they're gonna love me! And they do now! I get…almost unanimous veteran support.
You're gonna be proud of our border, and you're gonna be proud of that wall! We're gonna make it so beautiful that someday…someday, big, powerful and beautiful, it's gonna be named maybe ‘The Trump Wall’, so I have to make it good! I have to make it good! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
We're gonna take care of Education! We're gonna get rid of Common Core! We're gonna get it out of Washington! We're gonna bring it local! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. We are going to bring it local!
We're gonna terminate Obamacare, and replace it with something that's great! And much less expensive…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS THE CROWD CHANTS ‘U.S.A!’ REPEATEDLY.
 By the way, you know, when the other candidates come up if they have 300 people, they’re like, “it’s  a lot of people” …–THE CROWD LAUGHS. And on Monday night and tomorrow where…; I have two stops: upstate New York. We have a stop in Long Island. We were in Bethpage. We had 21,000. We love Beth…oh, look at them! They followed us…they followed us from Bethpage! …–MR. TRUMP POINTS AT SOMEBODY IN THE CROWD. We’re on Long Island. We had 20,000, 21,000 people…thousands of people couldn't get into this massive building…! This is what's going on! We have got ourselves a movement, folks. [MGF6]  And it's a movement toward intelligence. It's a movement toward the good of the country. It's a movement toward making America great again! That's what it is! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
So…look, here's the story. Here's the story…­–THE CROWD CHANTS ‘TRUMP’ REPEATEDLY­–…thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
So here's the story. Next Tuesday…next Tuesday, you're gonna go out and vote. And…I'm not a politician. [Did] You ever hear these guys? Maybe even some of our senators, but I give them an excuse, okay? But did you ever hear them where they say, “it doesn't matter who you vote for, this is a great democracy!”. Well, we found out in Colorado and in other places, [that] this is not a democracy like we're supposed to have. We're gonna make it a better democracy, all right? A better and a fairer democracy. And we're not gonna have rigged elections in the Republican Party anymore! And we'll let the Democrats take care of themselves.
But here's what we do. Here's what we do. We are going to start winning again, folks. And you're gonna say, “this was one of the great evenings of your life”, and it's gonna lead you to vote. And by the way, if you are thinking of voting somebody else, I don't think there are too many in this room that are gonna…; is there anybody in this room…that's going to vote for others and Donald Trump? Is there? …–THE CROWD YELLS ‘NO!’. That's pretty good.
I see a couple of protesters. They're not raising their hand, they don't have the courage. But some of our people are pointing to them. All right, look. Should we do the pledge!? Should we do the pledge!? Right!? …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS. Raise your hand. Just raise it a little bit! Don't go too high! Because they…–MR. TRUMP POINTS TO THE CAMERAS–…make that into something other than just a little pledge!
I promise that I, on Tuesday, will vote for Donald Trump and we'll make this country great again!’,  go ahead! …–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS.
All right, look. You're gonna be so proud of your country if I get in. You're gonna be so proud of your president, and I don't care about that. But you are gonna be so…proud…of your…country! Because we're gonna turn it around, and we're gonna start winning again! We're gonna win so much…! We're gonna win at every level! We're gonna win economically! We're gonna win with the economy! We're gonna win with military! We're gonna win with health care, and for our veterans! We're gonna win with every…single…facet! We're gonna win so much, [that] you may even get tired of winning…–THE CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS–…and you'll say, “please, please! It's too much winning! We can't take it anymore! Mr. president, it's too much!”.
And I'll say, “no, it isn't! We have to keep winning! We have to win more! We're gonna win more! We're gonna win so much!”.
I love you, Albany! Get out and vote! You will be so…happy! I love you! Thank you! Thank you!
